Hello - I just purchased an ISY-994i ZW/IR Pro.  Is there any way for me to determine whether it has the Networking Module, and if not, can anyone tell me a good way to upgrade the device to include it?

If there is a tutorial for complete newbies on using the Networking Module (starting with how to find it in the interface), I think that would be very helpful for me.  Most of the comments and documentation I have seen so far seem to assume that the reader is already working with the module.

I have read this:  https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Network_Resources but it's not clear to me on whether an optional module is required to use network resources or not, or how to access the module.

 

I have looked through the various interfaces that I know about (telnet,admin console, web interface, dashboard) and I don't see a reference to the Networking Module, so I'm thinking it's not there.

 

(I'm planning on using the ISY, at least at first, to supplement a mature home-grown system as a Z-Wave interface, and the Networking Module seems like the thing I need to be using. Based on what I'm reading here, likely over time the ISY's footprint in the system will grow a lot)

 

edit: In the admin console help menu, there's a "Purchase Modules" choice - when I click that I go to a website that has a "Network Module" - I'm assuming that's what I need, so I'll buy it.  I suppose I'll be installing something in the ISY?  Or is it something that is basically software based and will be enabled somehow after I purchase it?

 

edit2: and now I think it all makes sense - I purchased and installed the module.

 

If I'm right about the module being required for what I read about on the wiki page above, then I would probably add something at the top of the page like "This functionality requires the Network Module, which may be purchased and installed using the Help menu in the admin console" - or something like that.

Hi jgh1,

Yes, you do need the Network Module for that link and it seems that you have already purchased it.

With kind regards,
Michel
